Hikvision develops a new ITS camera to improve traffic and road safety

The ITS All-Rounder model is prepared for automatic license plate recognition, control the speed of vehicles, detect violations, among other options.

The provider of AIoT solutions and Big Data services for security Hikvision has presented its new ITS All-Rounder camera, designed to improve traffic and safety on the roads, since it allows controlling the speed of vehicles and detecting violations, It has automatic license plate recognition and is capable of analyzing the characteristics of each vehicle.

“Hikvision always pushes video technologies further. Beyond the visual range perceived by a normal camera, we have worked on the ability to understand what is happening, which allows obtaining more precise information on events or accidents”, explica Frank Zhang, President of Hikvision International Product and Solutions Center.

As this manager assures, “It is a multidimensional perception, a trend that we believe will condition the security industry in the future”.

Hikvision's new ITS All-Rounder camera is designed and developed with this multi-dimensional concept in mind.. This is the manufacturer's first camera that integrates three separate modules into one unit without compromising performance., which makes it a neat and flexible device, ideal for use in demanding environments.

This device incorporates an HD camera, a speed radar and a set of lights. It works with a multi-track radar that permanently monitors two or three lanes of traffic, depending on camera model, and identifies the speed and position of objects in the analyzed area at a speed of up to 300 Km/h.

In this sense, If a vehicle exceeds the speed limit, The integrated radar activates the camera and takes a photograph of you and your license plate.

In the case of violations of traffic rules, like driving in the wrong direction, improper lane use or even the driver not wearing a seat belt, the camera will capture images of the corresponding vehicle, will recognize your license plate and all relevant information (vehicle type, color, mark, direction of travel,…) and will send that data to the authorities in real time or store it.

Detecting violations and incidents helps improve overall driving, something that ultimately contributes to greater road safety, reduces the number of accidents and improves traffic flow.

Hikvision ITS All-Rounder equips deep learning algorithms (deep learning) and is capable of recognizing a much larger number of license plates, and with more precision, than conventional systems of this type.

Its GMOS sensor guarantees bright and sharp images, even in low light conditions. The camera has a light matrix of 16 supplementary points, offering an infrared range of up to 40 meters at night.

With all these functions integrated, The new camera “offers an obvious advantage over conventional ITS products in aspects such as space saving or less wiring.”, which allows for easier installation”.

Besides, ITS All-Rounder camera supports side or flexible pole mounting, making it easy to configure based on location conditions and in various environments,like urban roads, highways, tunnels and toll plazas.
